Thread: Australian court OKs logo ban on cigarette packs

Well Carl, my wife thinks I haven't had a smoke for five years,aside from an odd social. Some things are best left out of the conversation in my house!

Hey, that's what they should put on tobacco, and all other "undesirables" packaging: photos of our wives in nag mode!

All contact sports equipment packaging should graphically depict spinal cord and brain injury victims. Etc., etc.... It seems strange to apply this principal to only one product that poses a threat of danger when there are so many more.

In the past they just outright banned things e.g. fireworks & semi- auto weapons.
Our politicians are just not good at multi tasking.
